How to raise green radish to grow quickly and densely
As an evergreen tree in the indoor green planting world, green radish is deeply loved for its strong vitality and air-purifying characteristics. However, in order for green radish to truly achieve burst basin growth, we need to master scientific cultivation skills. This article will systematically explain the core skills to promote the rapid growth of green radish from two dimensions: soil cultivation and hydroponics maintenance. Key points of soil culture and maintenance of green radish intelligent water replenishment plan Soil moisture is the primary factor affecting the growth rate of green radish. It is recommended to use the "knuckle test method": replenish water immediately when the index finger is inserted into the soil and the second knuckle is dry. It is watered thoroughly every 3-4 days in summer, and extended to 7-10 days in winter. Combined with leaf spray in the morning and evening (humidity maintained at 60%-70%), the development of aerial roots can be accelerated. Light and shadow balance strategy Green radish grows best in a scattered light environment of 1500-2500lux. Sunshades can be installed on the east-west window sill to ensure 4 hours of direct morning light +6 hours of diffuse light every day. Pay attention to adjust the leaf orientation by 180 degrees every week to avoid off-crown growth. During the growth period (March to October) of the precision fertilization system, the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application" is adopted: a balanced liquid fertilizer (N-P-K 20-20 -20) diluted 1000 times is applied every 15 days, and the roots are irrigated with water once a month. Chemical fertilizers were stopped during the dormant period and seaweed biostimulants were used instead. The three-dimensional cleaning solution for advanced hydroponics maintenance of green radish adopts a "triple purification system": the container is scrubbed with a nano-sponge every week, the roots are cleaned with a soft brush every month, and the leaves are wiped with beer diluent (1:50) every ten days. Pay special attention to the cleaning of leaf backs to prevent pests and diseases such as red spiders. The water quality management system recommends using purified water with a TDS value of <50 and adding 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide (3% concentration) to inhibit green algae. When changing water, keep 1/3 of the original solution to maintain bacterial balance, and the water temperature needs to be consistent with room temperature to avoid cold shock. During the root maintenance process, brown roots are found immediately cut obliquely by 45 degrees with disinfectant scissors, and the incision is coated with plant ash. Putting medical stone filter material in the hydroponic bottle can not only stabilize the pH value (6.0-6.5), but also release trace elements to promote root development.
Through the scientific maintenance of the dual systems of soil culture and hydroponics, and with precise control of temperature, humidity, light, and nutrition, green radish can achieve a monthly vine growth of 15-20cm. It is recommended to carry out topping and pruning every quarter to stimulate the germination of side buds. With the pillar traction modeling, a waterfall-style bursting basin landscape can be created within 3 months.
